About the Item
Artist Comments
Recently, Sumner has been exploring the use of text in her paintings, adding poetry to accompany the message of the artwork. "This painting focuses on the things in life that hold us back, the tethers - whether tied by ourselves, others or forces beyond our control - that we must loosen or sever in order to grow and change," says Sumner. In this painting, she included the following original poem: The tether It is but oh so clever It hides its knots Within my wings Then lets me believe That I can fly free
